简介:
SUPER AUDIO CD HYBRID VERSION OF RUF1083. Walter Trout, who in a BBC Radio poll ranked #6 out of the top 20 all-time greatest guitarists, right behind Clapton, Hendrix, Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler and Jimmy Page, is best known for his spell-binding performances, stratospheric guitar playing, honest song writing, powerhouse vocals and mesmerizing showmanship. RELENTLESS, which features 14 original tunes, captures the essence of Walter Trout and his band the Radicals; the live performance. They laid it all on the line in front of an audience at the 300 year old Paradiso Theater in Amsterdam, performing the new songs for the first time as they were being recorded. The album is raw and unpolished, in your face, spontaneous. Backed by his exceptionally tight trio of Radicals - Sammy Avila (Hammond B-3 organ / backing vocals), James Trapp (bass guitar) and Joey Pafumi (drums) – RELENTLESS offers much of what the fans have come to love about the band: hard driving blues rock tempered by 3-part harmonies and acoustic ballads that inspire the soul as much as soothe it. From the ferocious and molten "Mercy", which shows none, to the autobiographical blues rocker "Life I Chose", the slow blues ditty "My Heart is True", the lilting and soulful ballad written for Trout's son, "Cry If You Want To", and the acoustic folk song "Lonely Tonight", this batch of new tunes is a reflection that road life is a risk, as is recording songs live that have never been performed before. For Walter Trout, it was a risk worth taking - he instinctively knew that the energy of his audience would carry him.
